They get that 1 extra point in raw power as a trade-off for not being able to optimise perfectly.(As mentioned up-thread, the by-the-book rolled method is approximately equal to 30.5 points, but allows for even less by way of specific optimisation. Thus the three methods are more or less balanced - point buy gives control but less raw power, random rolls less control but more power on average, and the array a mid-point between the two.)</blockquote>
